Help with expenses for Jim Rito’s sudden passing

Donation protected

Jimmy was 45, a father to Isabella and husband to Stacy. On Tuesday, June 1st he was having difficulty breathing and self-administering a breathing treatment when he called to his family for help. Stacy was getting ready to take him to the hospital when my mom called 9-1-1 as he stopped breathing and collapsed. This caused his heart to stop beating. My mom and sister did CPR until the Paramedics arrived to continue care. They were able to get his heart to beat again, however he went too long without oxygen. Jimmy was in the ICU and due to COVID precautions, had limited visitors. After multiple tests on his lungs, heart, and brain, he was unable to recover. Jimmy passed away Sunday, June 6th. 

Since this was so sudden, there wasn’t money saved up for medical bills or a wake.Life Insurance is also saying this passing may not be covered due to semantics in the wording of their policy. Stacy is now a widow and single mother left to try to honor her husband and also provide for 13 year old Isabella. 

This gofundme is to help provide somewhat of a financial cushion during one of the most devastating times they could everexperience. Any and all help wild he appreciated to get Stacy and Isabella through this time.
